Lorne Michaels is starting his annual cast clean out before season 52 of “Saturday Night Live.”
Leaving the cast is Chloe Fineman after seven seasons.
Fineman was a durable player but never really had a breakout character. She was kind of overshadowed first by Sarah Sherman, and then Ashley Padilla.
Still, we’ll no doubt see her on a sitcom soon. She’s very talented.
Fineman writes on Instagram: “It’s cliche to say this but working at SNL has been the greatest privilege of my life. I still can’t really believe I got to be a part of it. I fell in love with the place the second I walked through the door. Lorne (if you’re reading this on your burner account) I want you to know that I am forever in your debt.”
Who’s next? Hard to say what Michaels has in mind. The show continues to thrive with average of over 4 million viewers a week depending on the guest host and musical guest. Most of last year’s cast should return.
